Halloween with a Twin Peaks twist
I must admit that I don’t usually “celebrate” Halloween. Sure, I used to insist that my Mum nearly crippled herself making me a turnip lantern each year and I once put on a bin bag and some black eye-liner to get into a club free when I was a student, but that’s about it. So when I was invited to a colleague’s fancy dress Halloween party at the weekend, I was genuinely quite excited at the prospect of coming up with a unique and scary costume.
Of course, there was only one costume I could possibly choose when I thought about it; Laura Palmer post mortem! I already had a few bits and pieces from a previous fancy dress party when I’d gone dressed as Laura in the prom photo that everyone knows from the show, so it didn’t take much to add some white face make-up, a couple of ominous bruises and various other subtle touches.
The problem is that Twin Peaks was a long time ago and my costume wasn’t as much of a hit as I’d anticipated. I started the evening asking people to guess who I was, but having received some wacky answers and some less than flattering ones, I realised I should probably have pinned a large format print badge to my person to save all the questions later on. Still, once the wine started flowing all the costumes started to fall apart anyway, so it soon became irrelevant who you had intended to be at the beginning of the party! In fact, I even went home with the wrong colour wig, much to my dismay. So, if anyone picked up a curly blonde wig at a Halloween party at the weekend, and lost a ginger one at the same event, can we arrange a swap please? Laura would definitely not suit being a redhead…
